The Wrong Crowd was formed in 2011 as a collaboration between established theatre makers Designer/Puppet Director Rachael Canning, Writer/Director Hannah Mulder and Producer Bonnie Mitchell. The Wrong Crowd are a Devon based company, making and touring work locally, nationally and internationally. We make work where the visual is integrated into the storytelling from the beginning of the creative process and where designers and directors co-create work on an equal footing. We love to tell powerful, moving, emotionally articulate stories that enable us to be inventive and playful in the way we tell them. Our aim is to delight, inspire and transport audiences, old and young together, igniting imaginations with a little bit of magic and reminding them of the wonder of live performance.

Kite

Synopsis:
A lonely girl is taken to live in her grandma's airless flat where the windows are shut tight. Her memories of seagulls and sand dunes begin to fade in the silence. One night a handmade kite comes to life and heralds the start of a wild adventure and the chance to find what it seemed was lost forever. Inspired by the world of indoor-kite flying and stories such as The Snowman and The Red Balloon, Kite is a play without words, with originally composed music, dance, puppetry and of course kites.
